like another variation, <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=42105\"><em>E.T.<\/em><\/a>, it&#8217;s about how three people &#8212; Farnsworth [Henry], scientist Nathan Bryce (Rip Torn), and Newton&#8217;s [Bowie&#8217;s] lover-companion, Mary-Lou (well played by quirky Candy Clark) &#8212;

It&#8217;s also &#8220;for those who remember the Grimm stories about characters who fall from grace (Newton&#8217;s &#8216;fall&#8217; to earth signifies his descent into purgatory) and are punished (how Newton suffers).&#8221; Sadly, Bowie&#8217;s Newton becomes &#8220;a man in exile&#8221;: he is &#8220;infected by the earthlings he feels superior to and starts acting like [a] depressed, unfulfilled, heavy-drinking, domesticated [human].&#8221;

<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=86626\"><em>Walkabout<\/em> (1971)<\/a>, <em>Performance<\/em> (1970), <em>Don&#8217;t Look Now<\/em> (1973), <em>Bad Timing<\/em> (1980), [and] <em>eureka!<\/em> (1983) &#8212; we have a character who finds himself in a completely strange environment\/situation;&#8221; and &#8220;by casting singers like Mick Jagger, Art Garfunkel, and David Bowie, Roeg figured their discomfort from moving from the stage to the screen would transfer to their characters.&#8221; To that end, &#8220;Bowie gives an appropriately subdued, sympathetic performance&#8221;: &#8220;with his orange hair, great height, and anemic look, [he] does indeed seem like an alien&#8221; &#8212; and his &#8220;birdlike features actually contribute to our empathy for Newton, who, unlike the muscular Atlas, must bear the weight of his world on shoulders that are brittle.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Man-Who-Fell-to-Earth-Bowie-Tortured-480x270.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is most definitely an enigmatic and sobering film, yet a surprisingly absorbing one as well.
